Set in the turbulent years leading up to and during World War II, The Midnight Series plunges readers into the life of Jessie Fordham, the spirited eldest daughter of Albert and Ruth Fordham. Albert, a rising star in British military intelligence, navigates a world that’s both magical and fraught with challenges for his family. Jessie, grappling with her family dynamics, finds her life forever changed by her father’s purchase of a summer house, the mystical Midnight Lake, in the French Ardennes.

As the shadow of war looms, Albert is posted back to England. Albert’s army career blossoms, but tragedy strikes. Ruth contracts cancer and Jessie is left to cope with her mother’s terminal illness. Heartbroken and feeling betrayed, Jessie uncovers an affair between her father and the family’s French nanny. During her mother’s last days, Jessie feeling of betrayal ignites a fierce independence in her.

Years later, after graduating from Cambridge University, and against the backdrop of the impending chaos of war, Jessie is drawn into the secretive and dangerous world of Britain’s efforts to crack the German Enigma codes. With the Nazi invasion of France, Jessie must lead her siblings on a perilous escape from the Ardennes to Dunkirk, and at the same time, safeguard a critical secret entrusted to her by her father.

From her first steps into the treacherous world of espionage to her rapid maturation into a wartime heroine, Jessie’s journey is one of resilience, danger, betrayal, and unyielding courage.
